"Scientists?" Ethan asked. He seemed a bit surprised. "That is awesome! What did they specialize in? I study Pokemon Mythology and Physics at Goldenrod University, so I know my stuff about Pokemon that people don't really know exist. However when it comes to my own, I am slightly clueless," he said.

Alice smiled, "Well..."

Before she could say anything, Ethan had reached for a Pokeball and sent out a Mareep. Suddenly a wild Pidgey appeared from a nearby busy. It was a quick battle and Ethan caught it without much trouble.

"Wow, nice," Alice said. "Your Mareep is fantastic! But yeah, my father studies Pokemon fossils and my mother works on Pokemon development. I studied Pokemon genetics and development in Lumiose, actually. But I'm starting to learn that there's no substitute for actually journeying with Pokemon. I've already learned so much! Anyway, it's nice to meet a fellow scholar! Pokemon mythology sounds amazing! Do you have any favourite stories?"

Max called out, "I got something!" he said to the group, and began reading out a list of match ups. "Alice vs Ethan" was first on the list.

Alice looked at Ethan. "Looks like we're battling... how convenient," she laughed. Her Shuppet still bobbed around her head like some strange accessory. Javelin was in a nearby treetop. She returned all of her Pokemon so that they would be ready to be sent into battle. "I'm not really sure about this," she admitted truthfully, "But we'll give it out best shot. Good luck Ethan!"

Alice walked a little further out from the group to give them enough room to battle. She picked up Fervor's Pokeball. She had overheard Rocky speaking to one of the children from earlier, who had suggested that the best way to vent a Mankey's energy was through battle. Maybe afterwards, Fervor would be calm enough for her to tame. She hoped this would work...

"Are you ready Ethan?"
